MP Urination Case: Day After Showing Lenient Approach, MP Cops Grab Pravesh Shukla By His Collar To Shove Him Into Police Vehicle; Watch

After facing flak due to a video that showed accused Pravesh Shukla, who allegedly urinated on a tribal man in Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi, casually walking into the police station with a brazen attitude, the Madhya Pradesh police seemed to have done course correction by releasing a new video in which the accused is seen handled more "strictly" by police on Thursday, (July 6) morning. However, netizens also asked if the need to release the new video showing police dealing sternly with the accused this time under custody was an attempt to correct the previous act.

Netizens were quick to point out and recall the video that had surfaced on Wednesday of the accused in the custody.

Tweets comparing police treatment of the accused changing within a day.

"Commendable acting and talent," commented a user.
